Our giving levels reflect real data from IWPR’s research—because evidence shapes not just our work, but how we invite you to support it.
The report was conducted by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, and is one of a series of four focusing on women’s issues in the state. Last year’s report on Earnings and Employment found that the state has a 19 percent gender wage gap, and ranks in the bottom third in the nation in women’s workforce participation.
Findings from this report are not more optimistic than the last: out of all 50 states, North Carolina ranks in the middle to bottom on indicators of women’s health and wellness.
